One reviewer credits Dr. Tiwari for accurately predicting and addressing a patient's risk of heart attack and stroke, successfully implanting a defibrillator/pacemaker, and promptly informing the patient of a subsequent heart attack during a routine check-up. This suggests high effectiveness in managing serious cardiac conditions for that patient.
